Chapter 320 - Waiting for independence from Rachel (3) (1/2)
Chapter 320: Waiting for independence fronese pasta, nodded Given this fine dish, It wasn’t at all strange that Serhi received Michelin two stars Min-joon raised his eyes and looked at the pizza called the Ex-Girlfriend Pizza
“Is this eggplant?” Min-joon asked blankly On top of the pizza were eggplants, tomatoes, onions, and Prosciutto ha
Serhi, who came just in time, said with a smile, “I naplant”
“Why?”
“Because it’s an eggplant”
Min-joon looked at Serhi as if he couldn’t understand
Serhi opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it
“There is no dish with eggplants that tastes different, depending on the situation It can have no taste at all if you don’t kno to cook eggplants, but a fine chef can plants”
“What does that have to do with an ex-girlfriend?”
“Well, it’s sweet at one ti to be bitter later Try it”
Serhi said with a smile, “You will appreciate the taste of this Ex-Girlfriend pizza”
Min-joon lifted the pizza politely as if he was dealing with a high-end cuisine The first thing he did was to hold the pizza close to his eyes and check its texture, the gap between the cheese and the ingredients, and the yellowish roastit with his eyes, he slowly s The sticky smell of cheese, etables and Prosciutto ha at the pizza so devoutly?”
“Because it’s not just an ordinary pizza”
Anderson e expression as if he could not understand But Min-joon could not find any other expression right now Serhi’s cooking score for this pizza was 9 Honestly, Min-joon could not even think of such a high score
‘You can get this high score only with eggplant, Prosciutto, onion, and toh any complicated process?’
He could not understand that such a pizza could taste that good However, a cooking point 9 was so unusual for such a pizza Even a beef rib soup that required dozens of hours to cook would have a hard ti 8 points, but Serhi obtained 9 with this si over it for sohtful expression
When he took the first bite, he was still not persuaded, but his expression began to change when he took a bite for the second and third ti hands and looked at Serhi Serhi didn’t laugh, nor did he ask why Min-joon looked at hi at Min-joon with eerily transparent blue eyes
Then he asked in a subdued voice, “Do you feel it? Ex-girlfriend?”
“Yes, I do feel it”
Serhi slightly turned up the corner of his mouth at that then raised his hand to point at that pizza Min-joon took the pizza again and put it in his
‘I really can’t believe this’
Even after he ate it again, he felt the same way It was literally perfect He was a little skeptical when he heard that Serhi decided to give up other menus and focus on only pasta and pizza, but now he could understand why
“Haaaa…”
When he enjoyed Rachel’s food, he used to moan like that several times Serhi’s pizza was like her dish His pasta was also delicious, but this pizza was so perfect that he couldn’t even coht be hard to find this kind of pizza even in Italy
The most characteristic of this pizza was the sauce applied to the dough It was auous to say it was a sauce because diluted honey was spread under the cheese That honey was the key to the s
But even that didn’t persuade hih acanthopanax or lime peel was added to the honeyed water for a co score 9 with that alone That hat surprised Min-joon
Min-joon put the last piece of dough in his eneral, the universal criterion for a well-h was chewy, but not too tough It was a well-h that certainly exceeded that universal standard
“What the hell is this scent? Is it grain?” Min-joon asked as if he couldn’t believe it
It wasn’t that thick scent of ordinary flour His dough had the crisp and appetizing flavor usually found in well-baked bread When he asked that question, the chefs other than Rachel looked at Serhi as if they were also surprised
Serhi shrugged and said, “Well, I can’t tell you in detail because it’s a trade secret, but it’s the power of kneading and ripening”
“Well, it’s hard to believe that you can bring out this taste with just dough and aging”
Min-joon shook his head as if he was so is on the pizza were only a decoration to dazzle one’s eyes The secret of this pizza was in the dough
Min-joon could now understand why Serhi called it Ex-Girlfriend Pizza It eet but bitter But over tiering delight, just like the lovers who loved and broke up, which would remain sweet bitterness in their memories later
“Why did Michelin take back your stars when you have developed this fine pizza?” Maya asked curiously as if she couldn’t understand Michelin’s decision
Serhi replied with a pleasant suys are dealing with the restaurants in a mean way They acted rudely as if I threw a bo style”
“It’s innovative, of course You received Michelin stars in the fine-dining forave it up all of a sudden, right? How did you feel?” Min-joon asked expectantly
Sht have felt the same way in that situation I was just dumbfounded”
“That’s all?”
“Because I already expected it The , I expected I would lose Michelin stars At the sauests who caer visit That’s what I’ve been experiencing recently These days,to come back But when the people ca Michelin stars, I was busy receiving their calls on reservation cancellation
“I think Chef Serhi’s attitude is cool”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, he just cooks what he wants to cook without caring about what others say It’s simple, but it’s the hardest to keep”
